Desarrollo de un data mart para el monitoreo de indicadores de acreditación universitaria

Abstract

The CEAACES (Board of Evaluation, Accreditation and Quality Assurance in Higher Education), develops processes to accredit Higher Education Institutions of Ecuador. As a result of this process several universities were closed and others have been discredited. In order to support the accreditation process we propose a data mart to improve the decision-making process. The implementation was initially developed with indicators of the students criterion according to Institutional Evaluation Model incorporated by CEAACES and in the future, indicators can be added for other criteria. The project was developed using the Kimball methodology and the Pentaho suite. The data mart allows to visualize the information through online analytical processing tools and was complemented with reporting and dashboards tools. The combination of these elements results in a BI solution that allows the efficient monitoring of indicators prior to university accreditation, reducing the time and resources in the generation of reports.
